2.4.15-pre7 Severe VM Bugs in 2.4.15-pre7

2.4.15-pre7 Severe VM Bugs in 2.4.15-pre7

Post by Jeff V. Merke » Thu, 22 Nov 2001 14:30:11



More Info.  The 3Ware driver appears to be corrupting memory.  I
did more checks.  This driver will bark if the memory passed
is not 4K aligned.  I do not know if this is specific to this
driver, or if it is related to the recent VM issues.

When I pass 4K aligned memory, the problem disappears.  The IDE and
standard SCSI drivers do not exhibit this behavior.  2.4.15-pre6
does not seem to exhibit this behavior.

Please advise,

Jeff

1. 2.4.15-pre7 bzImage fails

2.4.14 patched to 2.4.15-pre7, on "make bzImage", failed.  if anyone wants
additional details, let me know.  i'm not particularly interested in it, the
es1371 was enabled by accident in a new configuration.  i've already fixed
it and moved on.
